Update
Man, so much is going on right now I feel like I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Here are some of the things that I've been going through lately:
1) Katie and I are no longer together. I'd be lying if I said that this was completely unexpected. As much as it hurt, throwing 2 1/2 years away in one night, I think we both knew that it was the best thing to do...for both of us.
2) There is a new manager at the bowling alley. I met him yesterday and already I'm very skeptical. I have no problem with authority and I understand that he is going to come in and do things different. However, I'm of the mindset that as a new manager you don't come in and automatically start changing everything. You should observe how things are run and then gradually make the changes. I met him for roughly half an hour and I think there were three changes made to our routine. One that upsets me the most is that we are no longer allowed to wear jeans because they look "unprofessional". WTF... We have to wear slacks now. There are a couple employees that don't have slacks and can't afford them right now. And what about the mechanics? Do we/they have to wear slacks too? I'll be damned if I'm gonna ruin a pair of Dockers by getting oil and grease all over them. Also, if I'm at the front desk and the mechanic needs help, sorry, but I won't get my pants filthy. Anyways, we'll see how this guy turns out, but I have to say, I have a very uneasy feeling.
3) School is ripping me a new one. I've had two tests this week, on average I've had 3-4 assignments due a week, and on top of all that I'm involved in a telescope building project and I'm involved in Senior Design. If anyone is interested, our Senior Design project focuses on taking the technology in Transition Lenses (change from clear to dark in sunlight) and applying it to car windows. Our huge project proposal was due last week so now we really need to get cracking on obtaining the materials and experimentation.
I'm definitely burning the candle at both ends right now. There is a lot of stuff on my mind and I really just need a break from it all. I've been wanting to see Sweeney Todd for sometime now and I'd really like to see it before it's completely out of theaters. Hopefully, next week should be a little calmer. I think TNA is back in town as well, so hopefully, I can swing by Universal Studios to catch the tapings of iMPACT.
